To Mr. J. G. on his being chosen Steward of his Club, presented with the Laurel.
Sir, by your Merit led, to you I bringA Laurel-wreath, but 'tis too mean a thing
For your high VVorth and Parts, which we
In vain wou'd Blazon by such Herauldry:
For Laurel, Palme, and Olive, may set forth
Our Love to you, but not express your worth;
VVhich doth exceed these humble types, as far
As Titans Rays out shine a twinkling Star:
I'le say no more, lest while I make You best,
I seem Injurious to all the rest
Of this fair Company, who do all by me
Chuse you their Steward, and unanimously
Intreat your care, to make their Club to be
For Honour and Grandure, The Society.
